20 Years

[William K Denton]

Hello list,

I bought my fast(er) black GPz1100 in 1998 from the original owner in Huntsville, Al. It had 3,500 miles and cost my $5,500. Best $5Gs I ever spent. I still own it 26 years later and rode it last week and although I "only" have 40K miles on the clock (much less than some for sure), it has taken me across country twice and many miles of smiles in between. Now I'm 65 and even though its equipped with the LSL bar conversion, the Sport Touring configuration of the bike is starting to give me issues with my back and shoulders. Unfortunately, I also have two other sport touring bikes, so its hard to get away from that in my stable. There are worse things in life though, and as much as I "should" thin the herd, I'm still not ready to let go of the big stealth rocket that runs like it's still new and has more than enough power for any situation I find myself in.

Cheers and best regards,
Bill Denton
Yardley, PA

Congratulations Paul!!  I will have owned mine for 28 years in March and
still ride it.  My friend Bruce is coming out from Denver in a couple of
weeks and we are going to ride the Blue Ridge Parkway, Shenandoah Valley
and up in West Virginia before he has to head back.  It's still a great
bike!

I've sold my Vulcan and am selling my Ducati Multistrada looking for the
next bike, but the GPZ will stay as long as I can still ride.
